Are we? (led to believe that)?

Yeah, in Small Favor I seem to remember Harry meeting her and Kincaid's train. My impression was at least during that time she didn't live in Chicago.

Yep. She (seems to have) arrived on the same train with a group of school-children.
The "obvious conclusion" is that she arrived from out-of-area; on the other hand, maybe that's "too obvious" and is misdirection; on the gripping hand, this paranoid/obsessive "what if" loop is beginning to look a lot like Vizzini's logic... ;-)
She may have been travelling with them in a form of "protective coloration."
She may have arrived in the train-station via magic (merely to make it seem like she had arrived by train, or because "travel nexus" location was a good site to arrive at, or etc).
She may have boarded the train just 1 station away.
We really don't know.

No luggage or anything, I had gotten an impression it might have been a commuter line. People don't travel long distances by train as much as by air, especially outside the AMTRAK Northeast Corridor. Probably not city proper, but I had the feel it was area.

Actually millions of people commute into Chicago by train, they have to, going by car is a nightmare. She may have lived in the suburbs or one of the neighboring towns like my son does. He doesn't use a train to commute every day because of the nature of his job, but his wife did when she worked in Chicago.. It takes my son between one to two hours by car to get down town, it took my daughter in law half that time by train. Any way you slice it, you can say that Ivy didn't live in Chicago.
